If you get this game, proceed with the knowledge that the combat system is wonky and takes getting used to and there are so many random cutscenes and forced slow-walking sections that I felt like exploding during the second playthrough. If that doesn't bother you when achievement hunting, then great! For what I payed, though, it's a masterpiece. The music is great and really atmospheric, the story's at least interesting.

I had this game when I was younger. I would subjugate the known world under the rule of a one-world empire and crush all those who opposed me with my mighty iron fist. It was so much fun. But it was also nice to relax after all that by coming home and playing Age of Empires II. Highly Recommended.

Can we do this review some other time? I'm working on some calibrations.
(Buy the game. Do it. Don't ask questions, just trust me! I'm a person on the internet, we're perfectly trustworthy).


The ending of ME3 is as bad as it sounds. But join the bandwagon. Let the hate flow through you.

You'd think a space civilization that can figure out Faster-Than-Light travel could make some speedier elevators.
This game is the start of your 150 hour gaming experience that culminates in an epic, fantastic 99% of a game. No doubt you've heard about the last 10 minutes of Mass Effect 3, so I won't rehash that here because SPOILERS, but just know that even if the ending is just plain awful (I can't emphasize that enough) the rest of it is not. The rest of it is fantastic. You won't regret anything but the last 5 minutes of ME3 (I really can't emphasize that enough, can I?)

Dishonored is one of those games that starts out being pretty popular but gradually wanes in popular discussion. I think it's a fantastic game that, despite the bugs that preeminently exist in all Bethesda games everywhere and for all time, is worth the time to play through it. There's a kind of morality system that affects how dark and brooding the end cinematic is, but that's the only thing you'd ever need to worry about as far as endgame is concerned. Each mission is fairly self-contained, leaving you only to worry about the specific goals of that arc of the story. And the game's got gimmicks. But they're good gimmicks that are there for the whole game and serve a useful purpose. The dark powers your character can use let you teleport, turn invisible, see through walls, call up rats to eat people, etc., and it adds a whole new dimension to the standard "sneak your way from one end of the map to the other" missions.

The heart of this game essentially boils down to three things: Space ninjas, guns, and death. Do ninjas use guns? Irrelevant. What is relevant is that there will be a lot of deaths. Specifically: yours. The game's got a wicked learning curve, so everything from weapons crafting to levelling up will take a bit of time to accustom yourself to. If you stick with it though, slog through the low-levels, crafting incrementally better and better weapons, and spend dozens of hours fighting grunts, you finally reach the point where you can die slightly less than you did when you started.
It's still really enjoyable, though. So, if you like a growing challenge and new content constantly being added, at least give it a try. Or don't. I'm a review, not a cop.

Do you really need my opinion to solidify your decision to buy this game? It's Skyrim. Buy it, get some mods, dragon shout everything in Skyrim until the whole of Tamriel descends into chaos and madness before disintegrating into dust under the power of your voice.
10/10 would recommend.
